Laucher Fails to update

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi there. I have followed all the steps and have managed to create my 
usb boot disc and succesfully install the launcher on my ATV. When I 
boot my ATV, XBMC/Boxee is now visable in the menu. I then go to update 
the Launcher and then Boxee...but when i select the launcher to update 
it goes to a black screen for a few seconds then returns to the update 
list. The same thing happens when I try to update/download the Boxee 
app or XBMC stuff. When I go back to the main menu and try and just run 
Boxee or XBMC It goes to a black screen and just hangs until i press 
the Menu button which then takes me back to the main menu. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is for the updater and boxee to download and install 
and to show the app running successfully. Instead I see a black screen 
when I try to update anything. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using Windows 7 Beta as an operating system (but it has 
successfully created the usb bootdisc so i dont think thats an issue). 
The USB creator pack I have used is atv-win-1.0.b11. My AppleTV 
software version is 2.3.1

Any help given is much appreciated :)

If Launcher is 0.6, then you did not use atv-win-1.0.b11. atv-win-1.0.b11 
contains Launcher 0.8

Nightmare I must of done b10 by mistake. How to I get around this? Can I just 
remake another bootdisc with b11 and install over the top of the b10 install I 
have installed?

Thanks for your help :)

Also I'm in the UK so I know i wont be able to take abvantage of stuff like 
Hulu....but am I correct in thinking I can still use my ATV as a media extender 
to my media server and play my collection of avi's and mkv video 
files....aswell 
as the tons and tons of audio i dont have in my iTunes Libary.

Cheers

version.

Yep great stuff everythings installed and working great...very impressive 
indeed. 
Made this paperweight of an ATV something very useful! :D

Upon playing around tonight after adding all my network locations it plays all 
my 
AVI's great with no probs, However when I get to 720p files it realllly starts 
to 
struggle. I had heard that it will struggle with 1080p but was on the 
understanding it could render 720p ok? hope so :( as most of my libary is 720p 
mkv files. 

Any suggestions anyone? Cheers

My experience, and friends of mine, is that ATV doesn't play .mkv files very 
well, 
but if you play a quicktime file in 720p it does the job perfectly. My advice 
is 
that you convert .mkv files to an apple friendly format using i.e. handbrake :-)
